It's about time....

I figured it's about time to do another blog.....Me and the LOML (Love of my Life) have been busy building a gate for the side yard, decorating the yard for Christmas, going to Christmas parties and just about anything else you could think of.

I hope everybody has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year....and I will try to finish my fountain before Valentine's Day

Happy Thanksgiving

HAPPY

THANKSGIVING

TO ALL.....

Construction continues

Construction continues on the fountain

Starting with the base, built out wood recycled from

the back yard fence project

startin' to take shape...

this gives you an idea of the finished pump for the fountain...


Question for my fellow bloggers - should the base and pump be left natural color or painted....if painted what color

Evolution of a simple fountain

I have been wanting a fountain for the front yard and have priced a few. WOW they are expensive. So I told the LOML (Love of My Life) Bonnie that I was going to build one. Now came the decision of something fancy, something that I had seen or something simple. With me being the Simple Man the answer was simple.

We found this tub at a yard sale and talked about using it as a planter or maybe washing the dogs. After looking at it I decided it would be the start of a simple yard fountain.

It is amazing what you can find at yard sales. I found this hand pump still in the box and never used for $12. The rusty cogs in my simple brain started turning. I told the LOML that I could use the pump as part of the fountain.

Let the construction begin...........

Building the base for the pump

Stay tuned for updates on the construction of my Simple Fountain....

Boy's Night Out

Me and my Grandson, CJ attended a Monster Truck Spectacular at the Lakeland Center in Lakeland, Florida. The show included Monster Trucks of course along with Quad Races and Show Trucks.

This is a picture of the rig they haul Bigfoot in when

they travel around the country.

This is CJ with Tiffany one of the girls that races the Quads.

This is CJ with Dan Runte and his assistant.

Dan drives the World Famous Bigfoot.

This is Jim Jack, the driver of Reptoid with CJ.


This is the finale, Bigfoot beats Reptoid

For those of us who are kids at heart, this was a fun time for all in attendance. CJ had to visit the merchandise table and Pop walked away with money left.

Happy Birthday Missy

HAPPY

BIRTHDAY

TO MY

BABY SISTER

The Bestest Sister

in the

Whole Wide World!!!!

In Memory of Miss Piggy

You brought joy and smiles to our family with the way you acted. Expecially when it was time to go for a ride, you were the first one ready to go. When you would do your exercise and make monster sounds. You were always full of kisses and loved to share them. From the first time you jumped in my lap and you kissed me in the face you became a part of our family. When I would fix my lunch in the morning and you would always be there to have your wunch. You will never be forgotten and be truly missed. You will always be the Most Beautiful Little Girl in the World. I Love You.....

This is Miss Piggy and me sleeping in front of the tv.
